So I went to the auto show today (Industry Preview day ) and thought I'd share a few shots.

Sorry about the quality... point/shoot camera + me wanting to look at the cars, not take photos + auto show lighting/background = these pics

My thoughts after the show:

The Mercedes E Class Coupe, BMW HP2 Sport (motorcycle), and the CTS Coupe got most of my attention. CTS Coupe will hopefully be my next car.

I can't believe I'm saying this about a brown car; but the metallic bronze from Audi

Audi e-tron concept car is how I'd want an electric car to look

The Ferrari 599XX, Maserati Granturismo, and Fiat 500 are the only reason to enter the array of FAIL that is Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram (since Fiat now owns them, they shared a display)

It's 4-5 years old and the Saleen S7 still gets a larger crowd then almost any other car

I tried to see the appeal, but nothing about the "new muscle cars" (Camaro, Challenger, Mustang) interests me

Chinese car manufactures, try again next year.
The cars seemed like they'd break if you touched them, you weren't allowed to sit in them, and I could see problems with fitment of the panels and warped plastic.

The STS/DTS replacement from Cadillac is HUGE... like Maybach huge. But something about it looks kinda cool.

Buick Regal: Brembo brakes, Recaro seats. Lets see all this make it to production.

Revenge Verde.
It's part Lamborghini Miura, part R8... without a doubt the sexiest supercar.
Put a mid-engine V-10 in and call it done.

The focus is definitely off horsepower nowadays.
BMW brought 1 M car. MB had 2 AMG's, and Audi had 1 S4. I swear I want to run over the next person saying "go-electric" (in a hybrid of course... to minimize the carbon footprint).
Balance is the key; not killing all high-performance vehicles.
